It was quite a week for Anderson Cooper.  First, CNN announced that it was slashing his show in half to make room for the inestimable talents of Chris Cuomo – who we enjoyed so much during those hurricanes!  Days later, Cooper made an announcement: “Benjamin and I separated as boyfriends some time ago.  We are still family to each other, and love each other very much.  We remain the best of friends, and will continue to share much of our lives together.”  Before you shed a tear for the Cooper/Maisani breakup, fear not.  We hear that Coop is dating a dashing dude from Dallas named Victor Lopez, who is a 33-year-old radiologist.  This should not surprise anyone who remembers when Anderson was a guest on Andy Cohen’s show in July.  When playing a game, Andy was asked what was Anderson’s biggest turn-on.  The answer?  “Latinos!”

As luck would have it, Andy Cohen just revealed that he is also single, having broken up with Harvard grad student Clifton Dassuncao (who is Brazilian, which I suppose also means Andy is turned on by Latinos).  When asked to describe his ideal mate, Cohen said, “Someone who’s very independent, someone who has their own thing going on.  Maybe someone who’s never seen The Real Housewives.”  Anderson, you were SO close.
